Do you have the latest motherboard BIOS, Intel Chipset INF drivers, and Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers installed?

You found your problem, confirm that AHCI is enabled in the BIOS, that should then let you format the drive and install the drivers.

You can fix the AHCI issue by following these instructions, but running in IDE mode has caused severe performance loss to the SSD that you need to repair. To fix the SSD, after you get Windows up and running under AHCI with the Intel RST drivers, install the Samsung Magician software (from the Samsung website, not the disk it came with) and run the "Performance Optimization" wizard under the Disk Management section. DO NOT run the "OS Optimization" wizard under the System Management section, it makes a lot of stupid changes. Once this has run, let this system sit for a bit, then run the Windows Experience Index rater. Don't forget to enable "RAPID Mode" under the Advanced Features menu after you reboot after the above, since that's the main reason Samsung SSDs are awesome!

I have never seen that happen, I have followed that exact procedure several times without issue. Try booting into safe mode and uninstalling the RST drivers? If you can't get them to work they are not critical, you can use the Microsoft default drivers for a very slight performance loss.

You are using 64-bit Windows right?
